  • Mehdi Hasan breaks down the ‘right to exist’ argument about #Israel

  • Thanks for that. I have had paywall issues with Zeteo in the past, so I thought the FB post would work better. I'll try direct URL next time. 🙂

  • Amid Israel's 'forever wars', Palestinians must not abandon the one-state solution

    Jump

  • Getting past the sarcasm, what is your solution? I think a democratic, secular Palestine for all is very sensible and fair.

  • ‘Israel Has Become Dangerous for Jews Around the World’

  • First, Temple Israel is a Jewish synagogue, not a Zionist headquarters. Even if 99% of the congregants support Israel, that still wouldn't change that fact. And guess what? It's probably significantly less than 99%. And that percentage keeps dropping by the month because of the unrelenting atrocities by Israel.

    But terrorist attacks against Jewish institutions (even by someone deranged by grief) don't help that process at all. Both real antisemitism and fake charges of antisemitism are on the rise. We need to be smart enough to know the difference in order to advance the liberation of Palestine, and humanity in general.

  • Give us some examples, please. I think that is a gross misstatement.

  • Huh? This article is not anti-Islamic or anti-Palestinian. If the NYT prints something useful, I have no problem posting it.

  • ‘Israel Has Become Dangerous for Jews Around the World’

    Jump

  • Sorry, GC, but you are mistaken here. The introduction from World-Outlook gave some very clear evidence that there is genuine anti-Semitism on the rise world-wide, including the US. I don't know the details on Amsterdam, but I do know that the attack in Michigan was genuine. (I sympathize with the attacker, who lost family to Israeli bombing. But blowing up children is a bad way to fight Zionism.)

    There is both a rise in real anti-Semitism, along with the Zionist (ADL, AIPAC, etc.) slander campaigns against supporters of Palestine, falsely accusing them of anti-Semitism. Both need to be combatted.

  • Can you elaborate on that?I was using a gift link, but I didn't call it out because some Lemmy admins object to gift links.

    So I usually link the non-gift URL and then add an archive in the body of the post. But this time the archive didn't work, so I stayed with the gift URL.

    Brazilian unions and movements rally under the “Petróleo para Cuba” campaign to break the energy siege on Cuba

    Jump

  • Feb. 14, 2026

    Brazil Cuba solidarity reaches new heights as trade unions and social movements launch coordinated efforts to support Cuba amid a severe energy crisis triggered by U.S. pressure. On February 14, 2026, the Unified Federation of Petroleum Workers (FUP) formally requested an emergency meeting with state-owned Petrobras to arrange urgent fuel deliveries to the Caribbean island.

    The campaign, dubbed “Petróleo para Cuba” (Oil for Cuba), counters recent threats from U.S. President Donald Trump. He imposed potential tariffs on nations or entities supplying hydrocarbons to Cuba, exacerbating fuel shortages that cause rolling blackouts and disrupt essential services.
